ROSS (CBS/BCN) – The Ross Police Department is investigating the disappearance of a Terra Linda High School teacher last week.

San Rafael police spokeswoman Margo Rohrbacher said Wednesday morning that the school’s assistant principal Justin Mori informed San Rafael police at about 9:45 a.m. Thursday that 53-year-old Debra Schmitt, of Ross, failed to show up for class that day.

Ross Police Search For Missing High School Teacher

The words “Thank you everyone” were written on a blackboard in Schmitt’s classroom, and Schmitt’s keys to the school were found in the classroom, Rohrbacher said.

San Rafael police initially handled the missing person’s report because the high school is in San Rafael, but turned the case over to Ross police because Schmitt lives in that town, Rohrbacher said.
